If You Were Offered a Free Home Cockpit...

I would go for an older aircraft such as the DC9 or MD80...

B17 - but I want both front seats, navigator, bombardier, and top turret...with real twin 50s...oh and huge cylindrical bullet proof room with surround projectors......a cheeky bugger I am. hehe

 

Maybe that is why no one is calling to offer me a free pit. :(

737NG... one of the best selling aircraft of all time. Plus its used in routes 30m-7h so I can fly anythhing short of extreme long haul.

 

 

My rich uncle is holding out on me.  I have a glass cockpit and three-monitor/3 discrete PCs setup until he busts a move...  

 

Highly recommend the Sim-Avionics software, which can indeed drive the full-on sim setup as well as my humble cross-breed...

Definitely a 737NG. I would say the 777 but a 737 is a heck of a lot easier to get into most airports. I never get bored in my NGX, but locations I do get bored with...so versatility wins.

In the current climate of austerity and government cutbacks, I'd happily opt for a cardboard 'tri-screen' simulator, as depicted in the folowing video, plus a cardboard joystick ;-).

 

.Hilarious (the time and effort that went into building this).

 

How about a Wright Flyer simulator? With a lot of practice one might even exceed the distances achieved by Wilbur & Orville!

If that's not feasible, maybe a Fokker DR1 Dreidecker ? It would have to be equipped with a powerful fan to blow wind, oil & cordite fumes in my face and twin Spandau machine guns with loud sound effects.  I'd be prepared to buy a silk scarfe & black leather coat out of my own wallet!

I think it would be awesome to have a full replica of Concorde.   Of course you would need some sort of special chair so you could move easily between the PIC and Flight Engineer's seats.

As near as I could find...

Do you know if this sim is using XP, FS or P3D ? If so, were they arguing abut the merits of each even that far back?

It appears to be quite realistic- looks like a field hospital in the background! Very necessary in that era.

I see no rudder pedals which suggests wing warping!!!

The pilot is in uniform- looks to be French perhaps?

A pure guess suggests to me about 1914-16. 

Thanks for posting.

Legacy 500....among many others too tho, so hard to decide...

Hope my wife doesn't mind if I put it in the driveway.

Tristar….. The only aircraft that, to me, actually looks like a dolphin. :wub:

 

I would like an Il-76 homepit.  B)

Speaking of Dolphins, Lockheed Starliner... :wub: That would pretty much be my dream. I would need a crew though! :rolleyes: 

 

I've flown in this CV-440 home cockpit in Västerås Aviation Museum, and that was propably my best FS experience ever (yet). They also have Dc-10 and Saab Draken sims, and are working on a A320. Visit if you ever come to Sweden!
